My buddy just hit me with some remix of this Nas joint he did in '94, possibly '95 (95% sure he did it in '94). Anyways, this dude has had shit released before and has featured on some other material, mainly on DJ Krush's CD Code4109 under the name Gravity.

This joint dropped in my inbox recently and I must admit from the first listen it had me, it's pretty dope. The joint is by Kil Ripkin, a rapper from Brooklyn New York and the beat comes courtesy of Eric G. Kil Ripkin hails from Brooklyn, New York and comes with some dope rhymes and the beat is on point too. Kil Ripkin is also a member of The Coalescence with Torae and has previously worked with Torae, Skyzoo, Kurtis Blow and Chaundon.

Afermath Part 1 is off the highly awaited album, TheBalancing Act, to be released soon. Keep your eyes out for it!!

Edan the rapper turns Edan The DJ on this mix cd of golden oldies!! Good job i found this crate of cd's in my parents garage as it looks like some mice were starting to enjoy a good feed on the cover!!!!

Boogie Blind was the DJ for Lord Finesse when he visited these shores a few years ago, and i t was a hella dope show. Got chatting to Finesse and Boogie Blind afterwards and of course they were very hospitable. I copped a limited 300 pressing of Finesse which he duly personally signed and this CD which Boogie blind signed, Enjoy.

This show is from 8 August 1997 and features live in the studio with Flex, Busta Rhymes and Flip Squad, Fugees, Buckshot, and Capone N Noreaga. Shaq was also in the studio that night but for some reason I didn't record the segment he was on.

Dj Rasta Root released "The Rest of Dilla" Vol. 1 last year and says that this mix was a long time in the making. 'I didn't want to do a Dilla mix just because he had passed away. I always seem to include a Slum [Village] or Dilla produced track in my dj sets, so I felt like it was time to put all my favorite tracks on one disc that I would listen to. It just so happens that I am able to share that with the world." Roots also speaks about what can be expected on the mix, "I feel like my strength is mixing and blending, so that what you will get....one seamless blend from start to finish.....no gimmicks, no talking....just DILLA"
